This bright first-floor apartment combines classic Victorian proportions with a fully refurbished finish, ideal for someone buying into Notting Hill. The reception benefits from 3.82m high decorative ceilings and large sash windows, while the layout provides two double bedrooms and two bathrooms (including an en-suite).
Outdoor space is a genuine asset: a south-facing Juliet balcony off the reception and a generous private terrace accessed from the kitchen extend living space and suit urban entertaining. The flat sits on a quiet, one-way residential street with access to communal gardens and is a short walk to Royal Oak, Bayswater and local shops including Waitrose and Westbourne Grove eateries.
Practical strengths include a long lease (share of freehold), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, newly renovated condition and fast broadband/mobile signal. Annual service charges average £1,800 and council tax is above average; the area records high crime rates, which buyers should consider.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers or professionals seeking period character with move-in readiness and outdoor amenity. Its central W2 location and nearby transport links make it versatile for owner-occupation or rental, though purchasers should note the solid-brick construction (likely no wall insulation) if planning further upgrades.
